Butterflies!

I have a wider audience than I thought! I occasionally post about butterflies. I’ve been “raising” one or a few monarchs annually over the last few years. It may sound silly but I heartily recommend “raising” butterflies. It’s just plain a happy thing. Always remember the simple things! There’s childlike joy to be had if you’ve retained the wisdom to appreciate it.

A homeschool kid bumped into my blog and saw my butterfly links. This turned into what I presume to be a school assignment about butterflies: How to Grow your own Butterfly Garden.

Please check it out. I like to encourage students whenever I can.


Incidentally, I failed to post photos of this year’s monarch. Now that it’s a rock star, I should rectify that. I present to you “Constantine” who emerged in late July:

 


I’m not always organized about posts. If you’re looking for other mention of butterflies here’s a way to start:

2018: Phenology Report: Monarchs: 12345678.

2020: The Cycle Of Life Births A Monarch.

2021 (reverse chronological order): Critters: Pics Or It Didn’t HappenCritter Encounters: Outwitted By An InvertebrateCritter Encounters.

2022: Planets, Butterflies, And Bullshit. (Warning, no photos and I a ramble about Pluto, the definition of “recession”, and how to have breakfast with a butterfly.)
